Three men are facing drug charges following an incident earlier this month in northeastern Hall County.
HALL COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE (HCSO) NARRATIVE:
“On Saturday, Dec. 7, deputies with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) responded to a call about suspicious activity at a residence in the 4300 block of Autry Road. When they arrived at the scene just after 7:30 p.m., they spoke with an occupant of the home who said he had heard noises coming from the basement. Deputies checked the basement and found three men sitting around a makeshift table. They observed what appeared to be drug paraphernalia and multiple baggies of a white substance, later determined to be illegal narcotics.
Deputies identified the three men as Lucas DJ Grant, 31, of Cleveland, Charles Rodney Smith, 35, of Cleveland, and Terry Dwayne Sayne, 53, of Gainesville. Grant and Smith were arrested at the scene, but Sayne fled the residence. He was taken into custody (this past) Monday…

· Felony possession of cocaine (1.4 grams)
· Felony trafficking of methamphetamine (46.6 grams)

Grant and Sayne remain in the Hall County Jail at last check. Smith posted a bond of $22,600 and was released from custody (a week ago) …
The case has been turned over to HCSO’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) for further investigation.”
